One of the more commonly taken classes as a KIP major is ETP (exercise testing and prescription). This is a class where we learn how to develop basic exercise programs for clients that have different needs. The clients could have situations that limit the type of exercises they can do, they could be in full…

When I first thought about study abroad, I imagined a pretty smooth sailing ship. What I got was the majority of things going wrong. So I thought I would outline what has happened and how I have coped- while still having an amazing experience in Australia. What I Expected: Easily talking to my friends and…

I am the chapter president of Hanover College’s Best Buddies chapter. (If you don’t know what Best Buddies is, check out some of my other blogs. I explain what this awesome organization is). We only meet once a month. For our first meeting, we decided to have it on campus. I rented out the Withrow…

I cannot believe that this is my last year at Hanover. It is finally time for me to start visiting graduate schools to decide where I want to spend the next two years. I have lived in Indiana my entire life and I love it here, but going abroad to Australia made me want to…

I have been with the organization Best Buddies for more than eight years now. Best Buddies is a program based on building friendships between individuals and individuals with intellectual/developmental disorders (IDD). That is right. There is an actual program whose sole purpose is to help you make friends. I fell in love with this program…

Blue skies, towering mountains, and the salty sea air greeted me as I looked out upon the Illawara for the first time. Although I realize that I am joining a thriving educational community — the University of Wollongong — I could not help but see my surroundings from a biological perspective. The crisp winter wind…
